Jeep Patriot (2007 - 2011) 2.0 CRD Sport 5d (2008/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure, have experienced a few liberal loving, green peace flag waving people tell me that I am killing us all, coming from the mouths of those with old bangers that manage 20 to the gallon if they're lucky and kicking out enough crap to gas the locals. People just dont seem to get it does 40 mpg and has been voted a Green 4x4!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

That its an odd choice of vehicle when compared to any of my other cars.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Audi? Maybe a BMW? A different Jeep? Not sure.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£12,850

When did you buy the car?

July 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

X-Demo ... Great Price! Vehicle was 200 miles away ... local dealership had same unit in stock but wouldnt match the price, company policy meant they would bring any vehicle from any location to my local.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Great, young energetic sales person ... Polite, seems that many dealerships staff are unable to approach a young prospective customer without looking down their noses and asking rude questions with regards to the funds your using to purchase the vehicle.

What's it like to drive?

Different to last car, but then again last car was an A4 Avant ... this pulls perfectly fine, just got to get used to the fact you can't 'chuck' it around a corner like I've been used to.

What's it like to park?

Not the easiest, rear isnt much of a problem ... its just working out where the front of the car ends! It looks like its never-ending, but its really not.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The vehicle's seats seem to be a little suspect? Driver & Passenger foam section closest to the door's seem to compress and cause the fabric around the area to 'sag' and look heavily used ... even after just a 1,000 miles.

What's most practical about your car?

Its a brick on wheels ... has plenty of space, with a roof rack can carry plenty too ... Just like a regular saloon/estate on steroids ... no stopping it.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Stereo, was worried after having Audi Symphony package that the stereo was going to be a let down, but was a relief to find out its just as good.
